I wholeheartedly recommend the StartUp Germany Programme. It was a great experience that provided a holistic business understanding, and allowed me to build invaluable networks and receive mentorship - connections and learnings I still actively use 9 years later.

The StartUp Science Trainee programme is a phenomenal post-PhD experience! I gain essential hands-on instrument skills, take full technical and process responsibility in projects, and develop crucial leadership skills through dedicated training. Best of all, I truly enjoy building a lasting network with active and alumni trainees across the company.
